Bible Question: My wife and I are faced with a decision that is tearing at our very being. God has blessed us with three wonderful, healthy kids who we love dearly. My wife developed some medical complications and has been watched closely by our GP and her gynaecologist. After collapsing one morning and being unconscious for a few minutes, she was given a blood transfusion to increase her iron and hemoglobin count. This has not helped.
She has been advised by the gynaecologist to have a special IUD inserted. This IUD would prevent the heavy blood loss she currently experiences during menstruation. The IUD was to be inserted in February 2002. We have just found out that she is 3 weeks pregnant. I am concerned about her health and cannot loose her. Is abortion wrong for us? We have been advised by the gynecologist that because of her age and her medical condition, she will develop complications. The unborn child could be at risk as well. WHAT DO WE DO. Is the Lord testing our Faith?

Bible Answer: There is a verse that you should consider which makes a lot of sense in your situation and that is to follow the sound mind principal.
2 Tim. 1:7
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

The Lord has blessed this nation with the best medical profession in the world. I think it would be wise and of sound mind to do as they suggest. I would thank the Lord for their advice and the fact that is so obvious a situation. This is my opinion and I wouldn't even think twice about it if it were my wife! I pry that the Lord will give you the same assurance in this situation.
Much love in the Lord, CDBJ
